IRAQI PRIME MINISTER ASSAILS DEMOCRATIC CRITICS

The above is the headline the NYT went with in the Middle East section report on the Prime Minister of Iraq telling two Democrats ( Clinton and Levin) to - essentially - mind their own business since Iraq isn't a state but a sovreign country. You have to read to paragraph two before you find St. Hillary of the Bleeding Heart's name mentioned.

Now, how much ya' wanna' bet had Maliki (the PM) been talking to George Bush about the same thing, the headline - and it wouldn't have been the lead in the Middle East section either - would have trumpeted "Iraqi Prime Minister Assails Bush."

That's just more of what passes for objectivity in today's op-ed-alism. I may be beating a dead horse, but ...

FWIW: By the time I finished entering this, it already disappeared from the Google news page.
